"Family forever & always" pour 2Crafty

Ho Ho Ho 2Crafty friends!

It's that jolly time of the year as we're finally nearing the end of this 2020 year! Snow has arrived here in Quebec and it's beautiful walking outside with all the houses illuminated and reflecting in the white snow. It's also my favorite time of the year for crafting, in a comfy sweater with a nice hot tea after playing outside in the snow; it's so therapeutic and relaxing. Speaking of sweaters, today's layout features me and my daughter wearing our matching Christmas sweaters!

"Family forever & always"

On the "Leafy Shrub Set 2", I used an ivory embossing enamel then I rubbed some gold wax on top of it. 

On the "Foliage Set 6", I applied two coats of red embossing ink then rubbed a gold wax again on top.

For the "Frame Botanical", I applied an antique gold embossing enamel. On the title, "Family forever & always", I used two coats of black embossing powder.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it will give you some inspiration for your own creations. I wish you the best holiday season ever, as I believe each and every one of you deserves it. See you soon in 2021!

"Live Laugh Love" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

I hope you're doing great! The layout I'm sharing with you today all started from a nice mix of colors I had started to play with. It's one of those times where you actually start backwards from what you're used to and you're not too sure where you're going to end! But I'm very happy with the result, and it was even approved by my daughter (which is quite a big endorsement)!

Live Laugh Love

For the "Summer Leaf Stems", I rubbed an antique silver wax with my fingers and used my heat gun to get a smoother finish.

On the "4" Mandala No.3", I applied one coat of navy watercolor then added one coat of pink on top to get a dark blue-purple color.

For the "Frame Allegra", I used pink metallic paint and dabbed some teal metallic embossing ink on top of it.

For the title, "Live Laugh Love", I applied a pink-gold embossing enamel.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some inspiration for your own creations! I'll be back in a few weeks with a new creation to share with you. Until then, I wish you happy crafting!
